They Are Not Adults

Young people are just little adults. They are young people that need love, guidance, training, discipline and security that those who are older are obligated to provide. Once given those things, it is up to them to walk as taught.

God has given the young their parents for some reason. It is past time for some of us to find what those reasons are and get on with the divine task of rearing the young in God's way.

It is not enough to simply tell young people, "Don't, don't, don't." There must be the provision for the good that they can and should do. The problems are too big for those lacking experience and the youth are yet untrained.

Possibly we need to "get off his back" and spend more time "walking by his side."
